Networking :: Using DSL as a FTP server?

Cool! Used the port redirection in the router setup, as suggested, and redirected the ssh port (22) to the inbound IP address of the DSL box.

Connected from another place, using 'putty', and it worked just fine! Have sucessfully 'downloaded' a file from the DSL server using 'pscp'.

Then I found the great Win utility 'winscp' (version 3.80). It is just great! Connected to the DSL server box and viewed the folders, etc. Downloaded files to my local harddrive, no problems.

Thanks again for your help.

Geoff.

Cool. I will have to check out winscp. I have only used putty.
Thanks for the update and sharing.

how did u managed to get 2 network card working?

Hi,

One of the NICs is connected by wire and by IP address to the ADSL Modem/Router, the other NIC is connected by wire and IP address to the wireless access point, that serves the local LAN.

In addition, I have a content filtering proxy, called Privoxy, and a "scratch" file sharing area on the DSL box, that all local LAN users can access. Lastly, I have Xvnc installed (the mydsl package) which is started at boot from /home/dsl/.xinitrc.

I have a HD installed DSL v2.0. I use the following script, executed at startup (called from /opt/bootlocal.sh):

#!/bin/sh
#
clear
echo Here will be stuff that I want executed at boot!
echo ------------------------------------------------
sleep 2
echo shut down eth0 and eth1
echo ------------------------------------------------
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth0 down
sleep 2

# eth1 is the nic connected to the router, so use DHCP
#
pump -i eth1
sleep 2

echo set the static IP address for eth0, connected to local LAN
echo --------------------------------------------------------

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
sleep 2

echo setup the iptables rules
echo ------------------------------------------------
# content filtering proxy, Privoxy, takes http from port 80 and
# sends filtered content to port 8118, so use iptables to catch
# unfiltered port 80

iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain

iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -p TCP -i eth0 --dport 80 -j REJECT

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

echo set up privoxy
echo ------------------------------------------------

/home/dsl/gjh-privoxy.sh
sleep 2

echo set up samba, to allow local LAn users access to the DSL box
echo ------------------------------------------------------------
mount /dev/hda1

sudo nmbd -D -s /opt/samba/smb.conf
sudo smbd -D -s /opt/samba/smb.conf

#--------------------------------------------------------

Hope that this helps.

Regards,

Geoff
